WASHINGTON, March % There is good
reason to believe that the president is not
going to have occasion TO enforce the re
taliation law regarding tho fishery trou
bles. had Il long talk yesterday with
high official who had watched the pro
gress of the matter very closely and he
says there is not likely to be any trouble
about it. Although the public has not
been informed of the fact, the presidenu
and state department has been quite ac-
tive in the matter since the adjournment
of congress, and it may be asserted the
outlook for n speedy and peaceful ad-
justment of the matter is very encourag
ing. The president has looked with a
good deal of solicitude upon this duty
which congress imposed upon him.
While he was willing to do his full duty in
the case he recognized the very serious
consequences that must attend anything
like Il war with Great Britain. In the de
fenceless condition of our coasts and
harbors there would be great danger that
the chief cities of the seaboard would bo
destroyed by an enemy having the fight
ing facilities that Great Britain possesses.
What the details of the negotiations
have been cannot yet be mado public, but
they are such as warrant the assertion
that the prospects for peaceful sOlu
tion of the difficulty are very good.
